Samantha Ruth Prabhu spoke about her upcoming leave of absence from work to recover from her autoimmune disease, myositis. On July 13, 2023, Samantha posted a photo of herself with the filmmakers Raj and DK and screenwriter Sita Menon to her Instagram account. As they stood for the camera, the quad appeared joyful and energized. Sam’s caption, though, was what caught people’s attention. When asked about her break from acting, Samantha gave her opinions and noted that it didn’t seem like a terrible thing at all. She also thanked the filmmaker team for sticking by her side no matter what and for never losing up on her. She had penned:
“A break doesn’t seem like a bad thing at all when you know what’s coming @rajanddk @mensit The family I didn’t know I needed. Thank you for helping me fight every single battle and never ever giving up on me… I wish more than anything in the world to make you proud… Thank you for the role of a lifetime… i.e until you write me the next.”
Samantha’s publicist which claimed chances of her return from the break earlier than expected
Everyone was concerned and dissatisfied as soon as the media started reporting on the rumors that Samantha was taking a sabbatical from acting. The actress may, however, return from the sabbatical earlier than anticipated, according to Samantha’s publicist Mahendra, who spoke on the subject a few days previously. The actress has not accepted any new assignments for the upcoming year, and in addition, her publicist informed that she will be traveling to the United States in the fourth week of August for a comprehensive treatment for myositis.

Samantha made her first public appearance on January 9, 2023, following her recovery from the initial attack of her auto-immune illness. In a white-hued saree, she appeared just as graceful. The diva, however, sobbed uncontrollably in tears as she described to the audience how she had struggled with myositis. She then gathered her composure and smiled broadly as she brushed away her tears.
